Set up an account with NoodleTools (http://www.noodletools.com ) if you have not already done so. This account can be used during your entire CHS career. If you are NOT setting it up on a school network computer, you will need the district name and password to connect your account to the school account (otherwise Noodletools may ask you for credit card info or you will only have access to the basic free version.) See your librarian, or pick up a yellow 2013-2014 database brochure from the CHS library.

At CHS, different academic departments require different citation formats. Follow the directions of your teacher when choosing which format to follow.
In general,
the English/Language Arts department prefers APA (American Psychological Association) format and
the Social Studies department prefers Chicago style.




Below are links to some websites that show examples of APA format.
